Coronation Street New Family

[goodgoalie]

I had the misfortune to see last night's episodes, and I have to say that it had some of the worst acting I have seen for many years, perpetrated by those playing the new family that are moving in to No 3. What on earth was that accent being attempted by Lorna (Mrs Tembe) Laidlaw? Truly awful, all of them

[jennyjoan]

not to mention Mrs Tembe's wig - lovely, not!

[cupid04]

She was better in Doctors. Don't like the new practice manager in doctors or sue the stand-in.

Thought exactly the same re-new family. That accent was awful. You'd think it was her first acting job!

The elder son just got on my nerves.

[elliemay1]

P.S If you want to see an example of really dreadful acting now tune in to Doctors and listen to lady protection officer!

[QuizmasterG]

How anyone could accept the eldest son as being so absolutely dense is beyond belief. Are there actually humans walking the street with an IQ of a pingpong ball?

[dannyk13]

Quizmaster, that is an insult to a ping pong ball.

I didn't take to them at all. The dad semed familiar- I don't watch East Enders but could imagine he was on that- and I couldn't place his accent, nor the mum's, but it was nothing like the smartly dressed eldest son's accent.
And maybe I wasn't fully watching but what was the house he took Michelle to for coffee?

This tells you where Trevor has been seen before FF.

ff - I think it was the house they were moving from. Obviously down on their luck !

[NellieMay]

Not a good start. The date with Michelle was a totally stupid storyline. Like most of the storylines these days. The standard of scriptwriters has dropped dramatically. The good actors in in, and there are a few, are suffering having no decent material. And the whole horse thing is ridiculous. But I still watch it just to pick holes in it!

[elliemay1]

The Dad reminded me of Lenny Henry

[hereIam]

Nellie, agree about the ridiculous horse story. I thought Michelle looked absolutely stunning last night though ..

[goodgoalie]

I wonder if Michelle is on a-h's 'list' :)

[hereIam]

Wouldn't be surprised gg !

Dangerous game you're playing there goodgoalie. You'll regret it. :-)

Quizmaster, meet Spath. :-)

[chrissa1]

In real life, Lorna Laidlaw has quite a heavy Birmingham accent.

[fiction-factory]

Thanks heriam- I thought it might be the house they had moved from but couldn't understand why Mrs Tembe's bag of lingerie was still there and why there was still coffee and cups there. Maybe they have sold and got the money but no-one has moved in yet.
